The 5 steps of climate action
The following 5 steps are required for ClimatePartner certification:
Scroll down to see how the requirements were met.
Carbon footprints
A product carbon footprint (PCF) provides information about the impact of a product on global warming through its associated emissions. These carbon footprints take into account the materials and energy that goes into different phases of a product's life cycle, such as the extraction of raw materials that make up the product, production processes, transportation, and other supporting processes.
This carbon footprint calculation was completed in February 2023Carbon footprint (in CO₂ equivalents):
1.685 Kg CO₂
for 1 product of 1 kg
This carbon footprint is based on the following product life cycle:
Cradle-to-customer plus end-of-life
- Extraction and pre-processing of raw materials and packaging
- Transportation from supplier to manufacturer
- Production of the final product
- Delivery of the product to the first customer
- Disposal processes for the product and its packaging

Climate projects
This company financially contributes to certified climate projects during the certificiation period (1). This contribution is intended to accelerate collective efforts towards achieving global net-zero emissions and (3) supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Supported projects undergo regular audits by independent third parties to ensure transparency and accountability. However, this financial contribution is not included in the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory nor considered towards meeting decarbonization goals (2). Therefore, it does not impact the carbon footprint of the certified product, company or service.
